John, you may have seen this headline floating around the internet:
At first glance, this might sound great — hasn’t the climate movement been fighting to limit carbon emissions? But here’s the thing. This new plan does nothing to limit Exxon’s largest contribution to the climate crisis — making it nearly meaningless.1 You can’t reduce carbon emissions while burning fossil fuels.
We’re not falling for this latest instance of greenwashing — not when we know that fossil fuel companies have been lying to the general public for decades. And not when Big Oil spends millions of dollars every year to lobby Congress against passing meaningful climate legislation.
It’s time that our government works for us, not the fossil fuel industry. John, will you call on your members of Congress to reject any and all campaign contributions from Big Oil?
Dirty fossil fuel money is corrupting our political system and blocking bold action to address the climate crisis.
In exchange for the millions of dollars fossil fuel companies give in campaign contributions and lobbying money, these companies aren’t held accountable by our members of Congress for causing climate chaos.
Just this year, politicians bought off by Big Oil sank the Build Back Better agenda — legislation that would have represented a historic investment in our fight against the climate crisis.
If we're going to pass meaningful climate legislation, we can't have Exxon behind the scenes tipping the scales; we must demand that our representatives put OUR interests before Big Oil’s bottom line.
If we work together, there's no doubt we will put an end to the era of fossil fuels. Thanks for taking action today.
